Abstract: An intrusion detection switch is attached directly to a printed circuit board and utilized within an enclosure. Wires are not used to extend the switch to the top of the enclosure. An extension mechanism is used to extend a triggering portion of the intrusion detection switch to an engaging surface at the top of the enclosure. When the enclosure lid is properly shut, the engaging service is directed downward, thereby pushing an activation switch of the intrusion detection switch down. Switches may be assembled to an internal main printed circuit board where the switch is completely protected. Therefore, routing and maintaining of wiring to a switch is eliminated. A linkage system or mechanism can be mounted to the main chassis of the enclosure and act as an interface to an enclosure top cover. This eliminates potential damage to switches and wires and provides for a more reliable switch.

Abstract: A ratchet module disposed in an electronic apparatus realizes one-way push-push function for a functional module. The ratchet module includes a first member and a second member meshed with each other with axially extending ratchet such that the second member may be pushed to rotate in one direction with respect to the first member. A torque spring disposed between the two members is twisted to accumulate a restoring force as the second member is moved by the functional module sliding in a housing and rotated with respect to the first member. The second member is served to maintain the position of the functional module. A button is further used in the ratchet module to push the second member to disengage from the first member, allowing the twisted torque spring to rotate the second member automatically in a reverse direction that pushes the functional module to slide reversely in the housing.
